"It seems to be a torrential rain and flood in the north, and the Yellow River bursts." Zhao Wanning pondered for a moment, "I seem to have seen many people whose homes were destroyed by the flood, all the crops were flooded, and many people had no food to eat and begged everywhere ......."

"Do you remember where it rained?"

Zhao Wanning thought hard for a while.

"Wonju."

"Wonju?" The eldest princess was surprised: "There is a big drought in Yuanzhou this year. ”

Zhao Wanning nodded: "When I went to Lingshan Temple a few days ago, I also met several eldest sisters, and they said that they were from Yuanzhou. It was said that it was due to the drought in Yuanzhou, and they came to Lingshan Temple to ask for rain. ”

"There is indeed a big drought in Yuanju." Princess Celestia mused.

"But there are no rumors in the capital."

"The governor of Yuanzhou Mansion still wants to hide this matter. Every time it is played, the wind and rain are smooth, and it is peaceful. I also learned from the secret agent. ”

"Since there is a great drought in Yuanzhou, how can there be torrential rains and floods, causing the Yellow River to burst." Zhao Wanning said: "But I did dream of heavy rain in Yuanzhou in my dreams. ”

"Could it be that my dreams are wrong?"

When the eldest princess saw that she began to doubt herself, she reassured: "Wanning, you have to believe in yourself." ”

Zhao Wanning was preoccupied and a little at a loss: "I do believe in myself, but it's not easy to say about dreams." ”

The eldest princess closed her eyes and pondered, for a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind, and looked at Zhao Wanning calmly: "Do you know why I want to befriend you?" ”

"Because we are sisters, blood relatives?"

The eldest princess shook her head: "Wanning, I don't want to lie to you. ”

"There are masters who have calculated that you know the past and the future."

The latter words, the eldest princess did not say. Zhao Wanning understood.

A master told the eldest princess that Zhao Wanning knew the past and the future. That's why the eldest princess approached Zhao Wanning, wanting to know what was going on in the future, so as to prepare in advance.

Zhao Wanning couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. She felt that she was indeed too naïve, naively believing that everyone approached her because they loved her, but she didn't expect it to be used.

Maybe even Pei Yue married her.

"Wanning," said the eldest princess, "everyone in this world has their own mission, and so do I." I have what I want to do, and I put a lot of effort into making it happen. I'll admit that I approached you because I wanted to know where the future was going, but I never wanted to hurt you. I said that we are sisters, blood relatives, and I really treat you as a sister. ”

"It's just that I can sacrifice myself to accomplish my goals......"

Anyone can also be sacrificed.

Zhao Wanning didn't know how to face such an honest eldest princess, so she had to bow her head and be silent.

"I know you may not be able to accept it for a while, but I don't want to deceive you. If you feel that you can't accept it, I will admit it if you don't want to recognize me as a sister in the future. ”

"But Hongyi, she really wants to be good friends with you."

"You go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion for the Hundred Flowers Banquet and relieve me of the siege in the Eldest Princess's Mansion. It's all about getting close to me and taking advantage of me? Zhao Wanning was silent for a long time and suddenly spoke.

Princess Celestia did not speak, responding in silence.

Zhao Wanning forced a smile, and the smile was bitter: "In this case, you and I can be regarded as an alliance." ”

"I mean, if you use me to know the future, then I can't be used for nothing, I have to make some benefits, right?"

Princess Celestia looked up when she heard this.

She guessed that after Zhao Wanning knew that she approached her to take advantage of her, she would be sad and embarrassed. But he didn't expect Zhao Wanning's mood to be so stable, and even put forward the word alliance. She actually doesn't think Zhao Wanning has any merit, she has a weak temperament, as the only daughter of the eldest princess, she enjoys the title of the lord of Qinghe in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and holds supreme power, but she trapped herself in the backyard of the eldest princess's mansion, begging for the eldest princess's mercy.

Zhao Wanning can obviously use her status as the county lord to do so many things, but she has been around the eldest princess for more than ten years. What's even more annoying is that after the eldest princess's mansion came to a defective Miss Cousin, Zhao Wanning, as the daughter of the eldest princess, couldn't compete for a Miss Cousin.

The eldest princess has heard of those rumors in the capital, so Zhao Chenan does have some means, and the eldest princess is also confused. But how can she, Zhao Wanning, be an innocent person? It was her blind flattery to the eldest princess that made the eldest princess easily pinch her, and it was she who dwarfed herself in her long-term flattery of the eldest princess, allowing herself to fall into the dust, and also making those in the eldest princess's mansion think that he was a weak and deceitful person.

If a person wants to be saved, he must first save himself. If you don't even have the consciousness to resist, how can others save you?

If it weren't for her aunt's calculation that Zhao Wanning could understand the future, the eldest princess would not have taken the initiative to approach Zhao Wanning.

At this moment, Zhao Wanning's eyes were red, and her beautiful eyes were shining. But she held back her tears and didn't let the tears flow. Zhao Wanning's mouth was pursed, and her gaze at the eldest princess was resolute and transparent.

The eldest princess has changed her opinion of her a little, maybe Zhao Wanning is not the kind of person who can't be saved.

"It's an alliance. If you have any clues about the future, you can tell me. Of course, if you need my help, you can also tell me and I will try to satisfy you. ”

Zhao Wanning smiled: "With the words of the eldest princess, I feel at ease." Since it is an alliance, I am short of money now, so why not get me some silver flowers first. ”

"How much do you want?"

Zhao Wanning tilted her head, looking as innocent as a child: "Give me 10,000 taels first." If it's not enough, I'll ask you again. ”

"I want a silver ticket."

The eldest princess didn't frown: "I'll have someone take you to the account office to pick it up later." ”

Zhao Wanning smiled: "The eldest princess is bold." You and I are aligned, and I provide you with everything I can know about the future. In exchange, you will provide me with the money I need and the necessary protection. When your great work is completed, I hope that you will be able to send our master and servant out of the capital. ”

"Don't worry, I won't talk about it. But I don't want to end up with a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey. ”

The eldest princess nodded, she understood what Zhao Wanning meant, so she took off a piece of jade pendant from her body.

The jade pendant is carved with a phoenix with wings spread, and the word "Shu" is engraved on the back. This is the jade pendant carved by the master after the birth of the prince and the princess, representing their respective identities.

"This bento is a token."

Zhao Wanning didn't look at it, so she put it in her sleeve. Then he took off the sachet on his waist: "Wanning has nothing valuable, so take this sachet as a token, I hope the eldest princess doesn't mind." ”

Celestia accepted: "I believe in you." ”

Zhao Wanning didn't show it on his face, but he secretly slandered in his heart: Why can't you believe it? The eldest princess is the most favored daughter of the saint, and she, Zhao Wanning, is just an unfavored waste county lord. In terms of identity alone, she fell behind the eldest princess. Princess Celestia wants to kill her like an ant.

Today's secret conversation with the eldest princess, Zhao Wanning didn't say anything. When Xiao Hongyi asked, she only said that she was talking about some royal secrets.

Xiao Hongyi was the most reluctant to get involved in the entanglement between these royal families, so he did not continue to ask.

The three of them even sat down for dinner together.

During the banquet, the three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

The eldest princess has a bottomless amount of alcohol, Xiao Hongyi grew up in the military camp since she was a child, and she can drink water by burning knives. Only Zhao Wanning, although she was greedy for a cup, she couldn't drink enough, and she got drunk after a few drinks.

But she drank the most.

"When you sing about wine, what is your life?" Zhao Wanning directly took the wine jug and drank it. She was already so drunk that she couldn't open her eyes, but she still held the wine jug and clinked glasses with Xiao Hongyi.

Xiao Hongyi only thought that she was wronged in the eldest princess's mansion and wanted to drink to vent, so she let her drink: "You are right. It's about drinking, it's about singing! ”

"I'll sing you some of the folk songs of the North."

"The moon is crooked, the wind is cold, my mother, I want to go home."

Xiao Hongyi's five tones were incomplete, and he changed his tone as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhao Wanning, who was drunk, didn't realize it, and even put down the wine jug and applauded her: "My mother, I want to go home." ”

Xiao Hongyi suddenly felt that he had stabbed the basket. Zhao Wanning walked from the mansion to the bookstore she opened on Zhuque Street today, and she knew about it.

The eldest princess arranged manpower in the eldest princess's mansion. The man came with news that the eldest princess's attitude towards Zhao Wanning had changed greatly, and the people in the mansion had also changed. Zhao Wanning left the house without a carriage, so he could only walk. When the eldest princess received the news, she sent a carriage from the palace to pick up Zhao Wanning.

She knew that Zhao Wanning had suffered a lot and suffered a lot of grievances. There are no children who do not want to be loved by their parents. But Zhao Wanning didn't, she obviously had her father and mother alive, but one was obsessed with fame and fortune, and the other was a child who let her own daughter prefer other people's families.

Xiao Hongyi stretched out his hand and hugged Zhao Wanning: "Wanning, don't go back to the eldest princess's mansion, come home with me." My grandma must like you, and my mom and dad and brother. You go back with me, let's go back to Youzhou together, and I will teach you to ride a horse and shoot arrows. My father went up to the mountains to hunt for us, my mother cooked us barbecue, and my brother, although he always bullied me, he would also go to the mountains to pick wild fruits. Do you know? The jujube in the north is sweet. ”

I don't know if Zhao Wanning heard it, she closed her eyes and made no sound, as if she was asleep.

The silver candles and picture screens waiting on the side didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, the eldest princess sitting on the main seat spoke: "Wan Ning is afraid that she is already drunk, so she will stay in the eldest princess's mansion tonight." You also stay. ”

Xiao Hongyi nodded: "I didn't expect Wanning to have such a bad amount of wine." But her wine is quite good, and she doesn't cry or make trouble when she falls asleep. Much better than my brother, he drank and went to the kitchen like a psycho to chop wood, and got an axe and shook it around, like a madman. It's scared to death. ”

Princess Celestia didn't tease her as usual. Xiao Hongyi always felt that her conversation with Zhao Wanning today might be a little heavy.

Silver Candle and Picture Screen are still discussing whether to go back and report to the eldest princess.

"You two can stay and serve Wanning." The eldest princess said, "I will send someone to talk about it in the eldest princess's mansion." ”

"Thank you, Celestia."
